Assessment | Pressure topography metrics | Definition | Diagnostic threshold | Additional considerations |
Relaxation pressure across the esophagogastric junction in response to deglutition | Integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) | Mean of the 4 s of maximal deglutitive relaxation in the 4-s window beginning at UES relaxation, contiguous or non-contiguous, referenced to gastric pressure | Abnormal deglutitive IRP relaxation:
| IRP >12 mmHg (Medtronic) on rapid drink challenge (RDC) or IRP >25 mmHg (Medtronic) on solid test meal supports outflow obstruction |
Esophageal peristalsis | Distal contractile integral (DCI) – contractile vigor | Amplitude × duration × length (mmHg•s•cm) of the distal esophageal contraction exceeding 20 mmHg from the transition zone to the proximal margin of the LES |
| Intact contractile response on multiple rapid swallow (MRS): DCI <100 mmHg•s•cm during MRS and DCI greater than single swallow mean DCI following MRS |
Contractile wavefront integrity | Contiguity of peristalsis in an isobaric contour of 20 mmHg |
| ||
Latency of deglutitive inhibition | Distal latency (DL) | Interval between UES relaxation and CDP |
| |
Pressurization | Isobaric contour |
| Panesophageal pressurization >20 mmHg on RDC or solid test meal supports outflow obstruction |
